(02.02 MC) A group of experimenters has 60 wasps in a large container and needs to assign 15 to each of four groups labeled A, B, C, and D for an experiment. They can capture the wasps one at a time when the wasps enter a side chamber in the container that is baited with food. Which of the following methods is most likely to result in four comparable groups of 15 wasps each? (4 points)

(01.05 MC) Mr. Moore’s physics class built different-shaped parachutes to see which shapes were more effective. The students tested the parachutes by dropping them from a height of 30 feet and timing the fall. They calculated the summary below: Mean Std Dev Min Q1 Median Q3 Max 5.6 secs 0.6 sec 3.3 secs 4.5 secs 4.8 secs 5.2 secs 7.8 secs The students wanted to see what happens to their times when they drop the parachutes from 45 feet. They find that every drop is increased by 2.5 seconds. Find the new mean and standard deviation. (4 points)

(01.05 MC) Mrs. Goodman’s physics class built different-shaped parachutes to see which shapes were more effective. The students tested the parachutes by dropping them from a height of 20 feet and timing the fall. They calculated the summary below: Mean Std Dev Min Q1 Median Q3 Max 4.6 secs 0.4 sec 2.3 secs 3.1 secs 4.2 secs 5.5 secs 6.4 secs The students want to see what happens to their times when they drop the parachutes from 32 feet. They find that the time of every drop is increased by 2 seconds. Find the new mean and standard deviation. (4 points)

(02.05 LC) In 1995, Derek Jeter’s batting average was 0.250; in 1996, his batting average was 0.314. David Justice’s batting average in 1995 was 0.253 and was 0.321 in 1996. The team statistician claims Jeter’s overall average was better than Justice’s average. What may make this claim possible? (4 points)

(02.05 LC) A group of researchers wants to develop an experiment to determine whether a new drug effectively treats high blood pressure. The researchers want to inject the drug in monkeys first to determine whether there are any potential serious side effects. Part A: What are some possible ethical issues to this type of testing? (5 points) Part B: While conducting the experiment, the researchers find that blood pressure levels return to normal, and they declare the drug is the cause of the change. Is this a good assumption? Explain. (5 points) (10 points)
